  • No HSDPA, Loud fan, Gets very warm, Slow hard disk
  • In addition, the Asus U2E of the ultra portable category, implements a number of useful security features, e.g, a TPM security chip and a fingerprint reader. Regarding communication equipment it scores points by 300 Mbit WLAN, Bluetooth, and Gigabit-LAN...

  • A stylish and well-featured ultraportable at the luxury end of the market, but ultimately more style over substance. And if the Asus U2E-1P014E appeals but the price seems a little steep, consider the ?1,199 black leather version with 120GB hard drive...

  • Abstract:  Rewind a year or so and we were taking our first look at a notebook all TrustedReviews readers should be familiar with, the Sony TZ. At that time Riyad reviewed the Sony VAIO VGN-TZ11MN and for those not well versed in TrustedReviews history, he and every...

  • Great styling; includes two batteries, Bluetooth mouse, and carrying case; built-in DVD burner
  • Slow performance; 3-cell battery life is abysmal; odd keyboard layout; screen is too reflective; bad off-angle viewing
  • A fashion-forward ultraportable with just acceptable performance, the Asus U2E is a real head-turner. Its a great choice if speed is not your primary concern. ...

  • Its been some time since we looked at our last true ultraportable laptop. Since then, the market has been shaken up a bit by some of the new product launches. The question that many people might end up having is whether a typical Windows Vista ultrap...

  • Sleek and fashionable leather chassis, Comfortable keyboard, Long battery life, HDMI port
  • Noisy fan, Runs warm, Facial recognition a bit slow
  • The U2E is hands-down one of the best-looking ultraportables on the market. However, its closest rivals—the $3,098 MacBook Air and the $2,936 Lenovo ThinkPad X300—pack larger, 13-inch screens, better performance scores, and larger solid state...

  • Slick, classy design with lots of options in a small package. Built-in optical drive, two batteries.
  • Trackpad wasnt sensitive enough. A bit small for our taste. Graphics performance lags.
  • The Asus U2E isnt about surprises, but in the realm of ultraportable laptops, often surprises are a bad thing. Like, surprise! Theres no optical drive! Or, surprise! There arent enough USB ports! Instead, the U2E has all the connectivity and featu...
